Review

This is a magazine that targeting at tweens and teens, particularly boys who interested in sports. With the End Zone section, readers will feel involve because readers play the puzzle and submit their drawing to the magazine, which is attractive to kids. Another thing I think is attractive to kids is the magazine uses comic as illustrations. I think the editor is clever to include an article from Sports Illustrated. It helps transit readers to the adult Sports Illustrated, as its readers become young adults and adults.
